Julie Ann Mena’s teenage years were marked by heartbreak, betrayal, and a desperate longing to be truly loved.

At just 17 years old, Julie became pregnant with her boyfriend, Reymark. Hoping that fatherhood would finally change him, she chose to stay and build a life with him. But instead of stepping up, Reymark continued pursuing other women. Feeling unloved and exhausted, Julie was ready to give up.

“I felt like there was no more hope,” Julie recalled.

But one night, everything changed. While watching The 700 Club Asia, Julie found herself crying along with the prayer on screen.

“I prayed and surrendered everything. I didn’t want to keep looking for love elsewhere. I am tired.”

That moment became her breakthrough.

“After that, I experienced peace,” Julie recalled.

She finally found the love she had been longing for—not from a man, but from the One who loves perfectly and unconditionally.

“Real love can only be found in the Lord. It’s the kind of love that no spouse, parent, or child can ever match,” Julie shared.

Unknown to Julie, God was already moving in Reymark’s life. While working abroad, a fellow OFW invited him to church. There, Reymark encountered a kind of love he that transformed the way she would love Julie.

“That’s where I felt the kind of love I couldn’t find anywhere else in the world,” he shared.

But just as God was beginning to restore them, a painful truth surfaced: Julie had also been unfaithful. Their relationship was hanging by a thread.

Yet God’s grace covered even this.

In 2019, Reymark returned home. Despite all they had been through, he proposed and this time, they said “yes” to forever with Christ at the center.

That same year, God blessed their marriage with another child — a beautiful symbol of new beginnings.

Julie now looks back with deep gratitude.

“I’m thankful because God fought for our relationship when we no longer could. He held us together when everything was falling apart,” she testified.

Today, the couple who once deeply hurt each other now serve passionately in their local church, mentoring others and sharing the same hope they found in Jesus.

“If God was able to change our lives, then I know God can change the lives of others, too,” Julie said.

Their story is living proof of 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”

So did God give up on their broken relationship? Not at all.

They both cheated—but God redeemed, restored, and rewrote their story into one of unconditional love and purpose.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by everything happening around you? Are you searching for peace and healing in your life?

Let Marissa Loon’s story inspire you. Witness how she trusted God, held on to His promises, and discovered that true peace is found in Him.

Marissa was having a hard time sleeping. She thinks she has a psychological problem because of overthinking. One night, while feeling overwhelmed, she chanced upon an episode of The 700 Club Asia, and it brought her peace.

“Pastor Peter Kairuz said that anyone who was sick at that moment should join him in prayer,” Marissa shared. “I asked God to heal me completely, from head to toe. After I prayed, all my pain suddenly disappeared.”

Because of the healing she received from the Lord, Marissa started to have a deeper relationship with Him. Feeling inspired and grateful, she also decided to support the ministry behind The 700 Club Asia, CBN Asia.

“I pray that I can help The 700 Club Asia, just like how they help others,” she said.

Because of her faithful giving, God blessed her with a seashell export business. God didn’t stop there.

In 2021, Marissa reached out to the CBN Asia Prayer Center with a prayer request. She was praying for her son’s student visa application to be approved so he could study in Canada. And true enough, God answered her prayer.

In 2022, Marissa faced a huge problem when her bank account was hacked, and she lost Php 400,000.

“The money was meant for my business. But sadly, it was all gone,” she recalled.

Despite all the challenges she faced, Marissa chose to lean on God’s Word. She found strength and hope in Jeremiah 29:11: “‘For I know the plans I have for you,’ declares the Lord, ‘plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.’”

“Whenever I feel weak or down, I remind myself that God will never leave me. I trust Him completely and hold on to His promises,” Marissa shared.

Not long after, she began to see her prayers being answered. God used Marissa’s sister to help her get back on her feet.

“I’m very happy. I asked God to restore everything I lost, and He did. I also prayed that He would use me to be a channel of blessing to others,” Marissa recalled.

Looking back on everything she went through, Marissa is very grateful to the Lord.

“I thank the Lord because He never left me. Even during the hardest times, I knew He was right there with me,” she testified.

Marissa also learned one thing: When God is with you, you can live a peaceful life.

Like Marissa, are you looking for peace too?

Are you struggling with finances while your family is dealing with health problems?

Hang in there—there is wealth in trusting God.

Raquel Galang proved this when she chose to walk in faith in the middle of her life’s storm.

Raised in a Christian community, Raquel’s mother influenced her to watch The 700 Club Asia. She was inspired by how God moved in the lives of testimony givers.

“I feel blessed by God’s work,” Raquel recalled.

Seeing how God reaches people in need through CBN Asia encouraged her to give.

That’s why even though her husband earned only Php 700 a day as a construction painter—just enough for their daily needs—she still chose to give back to the Lord by supporting the ministry.

“Children receive the help they need, lives are saved, and communities that are very far from the city are reached,” Raquel shared.

Do you find it hard to give when you’re barely left with enough?

Raquel generously donated what was intended for her family’s needs. She gave with a heart full of trust, believing that God will provide.

“I believe that when we give back to God, He is faithful and will never forsake us,” she said.

True enough, God showed Raquel how faithful He is.

When her second child became critically ill due to appendicitis, but had to wait from two to three days for surgery, it was a hard time.

Situations like this may cause you to wake up with a heavy heart every day. But for Raquel, it was a chance to trust God more. She called a community that prayed with her through the battle – the CBN Asia Prayer Center.

Together, they prayed for her child’s healing and financial provision for the medical operation. The next day, God answered with more than what she asked for.

Her child received the operation, and it was all free. With free medicines, too. On top of these, Raquel’s child recovered and finished her school year with flying colors—by the grace of God.

“Truly, He provides everything that we need,” Raquel testified.

Raquel believes that giving back to God was never about the amount, but the love, trust, and faith in Him.

“Our trials are temporary compared to what the Lord will bless us with in our lives,” she ended.

If you’re facing trials, choose to walk in faith. Choose to believe that there is wealth in trusting God—He will never let you down.

Maeflor Del Rosario discovered this truth for herself when she was diagnosed with Pott’s Disease.

She didn’t expect it to be serious. It began with back pain—sharp, persistent, and growing worse by the day.

What started as discomfort turned into agony. Soon, she couldn’t move her legs. Even sitting became a struggle.

“It was causing me so much trouble. I couldn’t do anything at home, and I couldn’t work anymore either,” Maeflor shared.

It was during the pandemic, and money was tight, and they couldn’t afford treatment. So Maeflor tried to endure the pain, hoping it would eventually go away.

But it didn’t.

Three months later, it had become unbearable. Her family rushed her to the hospital, and the diagnosis—Pott’s Disease. A spinal infection caused by tuberculosis. A life-threatening one.

The doctor said she needed surgery within five days. Without it, she might not survive.

But how do you choose between life and a surgery you can’t afford?

With no money and nowhere else to turn, Maeflor went home, still in pain.

Are you in a place where pain speaks louder than hope? Where the healing feels impossible?

Maeflor’s story is a reminder that God is still able to heal.

In the quiet of her home, Maeflor tuned in to The 700 Club Asia. That night, she witnessed prayers of healing. Stories of faith. And in those prayers and stories, there came a whisper of hope. She also found someone to pray with through the CBN Asia Prayer Center, available day and night, always ready to listen, always ready to pray.

The pain didn’t vanish overnight. The questions were still there. But in Maeflor’s heart, faith was starting to rise again.

Not long after, she returned to the hospital for a biopsy. They needed to check if it was cancerous. But before they could even proceed, one doctor stepped in and told them that the biopsy wasn’t needed anymore. God also used him as an instrument of healing.

From that moment on, Maeflor’s condition began to improve slowly, steadily. Month by month, she was gaining strength.

Then, January 2022 came—and with it, the words she had been waiting for—she was Pott’s Disease free!

Maeflor couldn’t hold back her tears.

“God showed me He still heals—even today,” she testified.

Now, Maeflor is completely healed, grateful, joyfully married, and soon to welcome her first child.

If you’re reading this and you’re in pain, and your condition seems impossible to overcome, know this: You are not forgotten by God.

Healing may not come the way we expect, but it comes. Sometimes through doctors. Sometimes through prayers. Sometimes through a quiet whisper reminding you that God is still near.

He still heals.
He’s not finished with your story yet.

Let us stand with you in prayer. You can reach out to us anytime, anywhere. You are not alone.

Geraldine Santiago and her family do. They experienced God’s faithfulness firsthand through a life-changing journey of healing.

After that, they knew that God was calling them to something greater. That’s when their journey of serving God began.

At that time, giving tithes to the church was not part of their lives. But God was trying to tell them something—trying to get their attention. For three nights in a row, they would wake up from their sleep with Bible verses about giving, impressed on their hearts.

This led Geraldine to start working with Operation Blessing, CBN Asia’s humanitarian arm. She began partnering with the ministry in 2013 to help the survivors of Typhoon Yolanda. Hearing their stories and seeing how strong they were despite everything they had been through moved her deeply.

“I’d be more useful if I raised funds. I feel that if someone’s right in front of you who needs help, just act on it,” she said.

Through her paintings, Geraldine raised Php 800,000. Half went to rebuilding homes, and the other half supported the education of children affected by the disaster.

In July 2023, her faithfulness was tested. Just before her son, Austin, was set to return home from his studies in the U.S., his face suddenly swelled, causing him intense pain. They soon discovered he had cancer, but he couldn’t seek treatment immediately because he had no health insurance.

Geraldine flew out right away. When she saw him, she could barely recognize her son.

Thankfully, God is so good and used someone to help them. A family friend who worked at a hospital stepped in and helped Austin get the treatment he needed.

But while waiting for the approval of Austin’s treatment, the cancer aggressively spread across his face. The doctors even told them that he had only a 20% chance of survival.

“For the first time in my life, I told God, ‘I surrender everything to You.’ And I have been a Christian for many years already,” Geraldine shared.

Not long after that prayer, she received some good news. Austin’s insurance was approved.

After two long years of treatment, Austin fully recovered. But beyond the physical healing, it also deepened his personal relationship with the Lord.

“Someone asked Austin, ‘Do you love God?’ He said, ‘A thousand times,’” Geraldine recalled.

Today, Geraldine and her family continue to faithfully support and serve others through Operation Blessing.

What are you trusting God for right now?

Geraldine and her family’s story is a beautiful reminder that when we stay faithful and follow God’s lead, He shows up in ways we never imagined— answering prayers and working things out according to His perfect plan.

Is your heart hardened by the pain others have caused, making it hard for you to forgive?

That was what Rea Ang-Go experienced.

Her father was shot when she was two years old, and without a father, her mom was left to take care of the family.

Rea knew her mother would struggle to work because she wasn’t able to finish school. In their Chinese culture, women were expected to take care of the home, not pursue an education.

Her uncle became the manager of the business her father used to handle, and they were given only a small income, just enough to get by.

Because of this oppression, her mind was filled with questions like, “Why didn’t they find the killer of our father?” and “Why is this happening to us?”

She felt like everything that had been happening was so unfair, and that they were being oppressed. Her anger grew and grew, until it consumed her and hardened her heart to the point that she couldn’t forgive.

Have you ever been hurt so deeply and repeatedly that your anger begins to consume you?

Yet God is good, and He never wanted Rea to live that way.

One night, while watching television, she stumbled upon The 700 Club Asia. Rea knew it was God’s way of speaking to her, and through this, she gave her life to Jesus. Rea experienced renewal in God.

He began to soften her heart until she longed to know Him more deeply. God also placed in Rea’s heart the desire to give to the ministry. The Lord blessed her generous heart, and she never lacked anything. God provided for her and her family faithfully.

It is indeed God who changes even the hardest heart. When you are in Christ, He gives you a heart that is aligned with His.

In time, Rea realized that God wanted her to surrender everything, even the anger and unforgiveness she held on to. She wholeheartedly obeyed, and the weight on her shoulders was lifted.

Today, Rea can say with confidence that she feels no anger toward the people who hurt her in the past.

“I can surely say, there’s no anger in my heart anymore. God has wiped it all,” she said. She now lives in the freedom that comes from God. As written in His Word:

“Hatred stirs up quarrels, but love makes up for all offenses.” (Proverbs 10:12 NLT)

Because God has filled Rea’s heart with His love, it became easier for her to forgive and let go of the grudges she once held.

Have you ever had everything you need, yet still feel like something is missing?

That was Maribel’s reality.

Maribel, an Operations Manager in her family’s garment business, often wondered why her achievements didn’t fill the emptiness inside her. Although she thrived at work, her heart felt incomplete, as if something was still missing.

Even though she was doing what she could, a question echoed in her mind: “Shouldn’t I be content? I wake up, go to work, sleep, then repeat. Is this all there is to life?”

On top of that, workplace issues began piling up. A conflict in operations led to tension, misunderstandings, and strained relationships with her colleagues.

Then one evening, after another long day, Maribel stumbled upon The 700 Club Asia on television. Through its stories of hope and transformation, she learned about CBN Asia’s Prayer Center.

“I asked for prayer because I couldn’t understand what I was feeling,” she recalled. “There was a counselor who asked me, ‘Would you like to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior?’ I said yes. I didn’t even notice I was smiling. I felt genuinely happy. I said, ‘Lord, You’re amazing.’”

Like Maribel, have you ever felt a love that no one else could offer?

Her decision that year marked the beginning of a remarkable spiritual awakening. As she accepted Jesus, Maribel experienced an inner peace that she had never known before. The emptiness vanished, replaced by a newfound sense of purpose.

Maribel joined a Bible study group connected with the Prayer Center, finding in them not only spiritual mentors but a second family. Together, they encouraged one another, prayed for each other’s needs, and grew in humility and faith.

As Maribel’s faith deepened, so did her capacity for forgiveness. She let go of past hurt and extended grace to those who wronged her, restoring broken relationships at work and at home. Her humility shone through every interaction, and family bonds strengthened as they saw the transformation in her life.

Maribel’s heart also opened to giving back. She became a faithful donor to Operation Blessing and continued her calls to the Prayer Center. “It feels so fulfilling to help because God used CBN Asia to change my life. That’s why I said, ‘Lord, for as long as I live, I’ll keep giving.’”

Today, Maribel stands as living proof that true success isn’t measured by titles or achievements, but by the condition of the heart. She discovered that the greatest fulfillment comes from knowing Jesus, forgiving others, and serving selflessly.

Have you ever wondered what it really means to take a step of faith?

For Sarah, it started with a gentle nudge in her heart while watching The 700 Club Asia during the pandemic. Life wasn’t easy—she was working at a small food cart, earning just enough to get by.

But as she listened to the stories of people giving to CBN Asia and experiencing joy, something inside her whispered, “I want to feel that, too.”

Sarah didn’t have much. But she gave anyway. First, Php 100. Then, Php 200. Eventually, Php 500.

What would that step of faith look like for you?

It might be giving, starting that business, applying for that job, or saying yes to something you’ve been praying about. Maybe that will be the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for.

For Sarah, that small step of faith changed everything.

God didn’t just meet her needs—He filled her life with peace, purpose, and unexpected blessings. She discovered a truth that many only realize when they dare to trust:

“Whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” (2 Corinthians 9:6 NIV)

But then came a greater test. Her mother became critically ill, struggling to breathe. Doctors recommended putting her on a ventilator. Sarah was afraid. She feared losing the one person who meant the world to her.

Once again, she took a step of faith.

She reached out to the CBN Asia Prayer Center, and within minutes, someone prayed with her. She poured out her fears, asking God for healing.

And He answered. Sarah’s mother didn’t need the ventilator—just medication. She recovered fully.

“The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” (James 5:16 NIV)

Years later, Sarah looks back and sees how every small step of faith brought her closer to the heart of God. Today, she gives not out of pressure or fear, but from a deep joy, knowing she’s part of something greater.

She shares how The 700 Club Asia has helped her take those steps and grow in her walk with the Lord.

Maybe God is nudging your heart today. Maybe you’re wondering if your small step matters.

It does.

Whether it’s giving, praying, reaching out, or simply trusting—every act of faith is a seed. And God promises to honor it.

“Without faith it is impossible to please God… He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6 NIV)

So go ahead. Take that step. Like Sarah, you might just find that on the other side of your faith is a story only God could write.

What would you do if your marriage was falling apart, but you had to stay strong for your child?

Melanie Remigio faced that very moment. As a mother and wife, she discovered something that shattered her heart.

She found out that her husband, an OFW in Saipan, had been exchanging sweet messages with another woman on Facebook. She couldn’t believe it at first because everything felt fine between them.

The pain was overwhelming, but she held on for their only daughter.

Sleepless nights came often, as the sting of betrayal filled her mind. She regretted letting him go abroad. “If only I hadn’t allowed him to leave, maybe this wouldn’t have happened,” Melanie said.

But where do you turn when your heart is breaking and giving up is not an option?

One night, while feeling completely lost, Melanie came across The 700 Club Asia on television. The real-life stories of restored marriages and lives deeply moved her.

“I felt like the hosts were praying for someone exactly like me,” she said. That night, she didn’t just watch, she believed.

She held on to God’s Word and prayed for healing.

Instead of sinking into bitterness, Melanie chose to give. She started supporting CBN Asia and found joy in helping others even as she prayed for her own breakthrough.

God honored Melanie’s faith. Little by little, things began to shift. One day, her husband opened up and admitted his mistake. He asked for forgiveness, not just with words, but with sincerity that Melanie truly felt.

He said he wanted to change. This time, Melanie saw it wasn’t just talk. It was different.

With a heart still healing but now filled with hope, she chose to forgive and to believe that God could restore not just their relationship, but everything that was broken. It wasn’t easy, but it was real. And it was the beginning of something new.

As their marriage healed, so did their finances. Melanie’s small food business, which she had started to make ends meet, began to grow. More customers came. Meanwhile, her husband landed a better job in Saipan.

It was blessing after blessing, proof that God was moving in their lives.

“When you trust the Lord, He is the only One who can truly help and never disappoint,” Melanie testified.

Grateful for how God restored her family and blessed her business, Melanie continued to give to CBN Asia. Her heart is now full of hope and purpose, ready to help others find the same peace she did.
